I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to the graduands of 2011. It has been my privilege to work with you for the past few years and I thank you all for your contributions to the School, and to my own growth as a member of this profession and an educator.  I very much hope that you will keep in touch and inform of us your career developments; we very much consider you part of the SIM family.  I would like to extend my thanks also to your friends, family, and loved ones, as I know how important their support has been to you.  In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.”
